Full details

Its key benefit is providing uncompromising performance through sustainable materials like YULEX(r) natural rubber and advanced construction.

FAQs

What is YULEX(r) natural rubber?

YULEX(r) is a plant-based rubber derived from sources like FSC(r) and PEFC(r) certified rubber trees. It serves as a sustainable alternative to traditional neoprene, offering comparable warmth and flexibility with a lower environmental impact.

How does the chest zip entry work?

The Quadrate Chest Bib Zip Entry system is designed for easy donning and doffing. A streamlined bib connects to the main zipper, aiming to reduce water flushing that can occur around the chest area, maintaining better warmth.

Is this wetsuit suitable for very cold water?

The FLEXOR 43 YULEX CHEST ZIP BS STEAMER is designed for cool to temperate water. For extremely cold conditions, a thicker wetsuit or additional thermal layers might be necessary.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Wetsuits should fit like a second skin, with no major wrinkles or baggy areas, especially around the torso, arms, and legs. Try the wetsuit on and perform a few movements like paddling and crouching to check for comfort and restriction. The RevoFit 3D pattern technology is designed for an anatomical fit.

What is the difference between Pinstripe External and X-Flex External panels?

Pinstripe External panels are typically found on the upper body and offer high stretch for unrestricted movement. X-Flex External panels, used on the lower body, provide high-performance flexibility where it is most needed for surfing.

Can I wash my wetsuit in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended. The harshness of a washing machine can damage the materials and construction of the wetsuit. Always follow the hand-wash and rinse instructions for proper care.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels tight or restrictive

Ensure the correct size is selected. Wetsuits should fit snugly, but if movement is severely limited, it may be too small. Allow for a slight break-in period as the material adapts to your body.

Water entry around seams or seals

Check that all seals (cuffs, ankles, collar) are sitting flush against the skin. Ensure the chest zip is fully closed and the bib is properly secured. Blindstitched seams are designed to minimize water entry, but some minimal seepage can occur.

Odour from the wetsuit

Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after each use. For persistent odors, use a wetsuit-specific shampoo or a mild, non-detergent soap diluted in cool water, followed by a thorough rinse. Ensure the suit is dried completely before storage.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently rinse the zipper area with fresh water to remove any salt or sand. If stiffness persists, apply a small amount of wax or a silicone-based zipper lubricant designed for wetsuits. Avoid forcing the zipper.
